Brasilia Description
The central-western region of Brazil, comprised of the states of Gois, Mato Grosso, and Mato Grosso do Sul, is dominated by the Pantanal region. It is also home to Brasilia, the modernist capital of the country.
The Pantanal is the world's largest wetland. Essentially a flood plain, it fills with fresh water every year during the rainy season, which lasts from November to April. In fact, early Portuguese explorers, arriving during the wet season, mistook it for a large in-land lake. The Pantanal is a vast area, larger than Greece, and very sparsely populated. Most of the human inhabitants of the Pantanal are remote native tribes or cattle ranchers, but the regions' popularity as a tourist destination has surged in recent years.
It is home to more than 260 species of fish and more than 650 species of birds. It is possible to see jaguars, pumas, caimans, macaws, anacondas, monkeys and giant river otters, just to name a few.
